Hi All,

Some rather very good news.
This strangely is working for me fine since kdepim 4.7.3.
I receive exchange invites and I accept. My Exchange calendar is updated 
locally in kontact and it reflect almost immediately in MS Outlook Web Access 
calendar, with the correct exact time and details.

It also then syncs down to my Android phone(although is out by just an hour). 
The time correctly reflects on korganizer and OWA but out by an hour earlier on 
Android (SGS2 with MIUI).

Can you guys test this again it looks like kdepim 4.7.3 can work with Exchange 
calendar now! :)

I think possibly it's some update in kdepim 4.7.3 or the latest Davmail 
possibly?
I'm now running davmail 3.9.6

Let me know your findings.

Btw, there is still a bug with replying to calendar events which doesn't work 
with kmail2. Likely something that can be fixed really quick and easy.

On a side note I left kontact for a while since I found 4.7.0/1 horribly 
unstable/buggy. I was shocked to see what a massive improvement kdepim 4.7.3 
is. It's very stable, quick and working great all round for me! :) Thanks to 
the great work but the kdepim team!! :)
